and that, my friend, i believe makes all the difference in the world. i already gave up on seeing an official update, so when i finally get bored with 1.5 and 2.2 gets ported unofficially, i'm going for it. i was always against unofficial updates, but my friend who owns a G1 treated himself to a 2.1 and is more than happy with it

Maybe misreading this, but I guess I wasn't clear, the mytouch has 192mb ram same as our galaxy. So it is possible for i7500 to get an official 2.2 update. We just have a better camera ^^

they're identical at specs that are critical in order to upgrade (ram and cpu), moreover galaxy has 8GB of internal memory, that's more than nexus1, milestone, hero, spica and some other phones put together! this is just unbelievable that we still don't have 2.1 at least

edit
let me correct myself: galaxy has more internal memory than xperia x10, htc desire, htc wildfire, motorola milestone, nexus1, htc legend, samsung i5700 spica, htc hero, htc magic, acer liquid e, acer liquid, samsung i6500, htc g1 and samsung behold 2 put together, but i guess that means nothing to samsung. i hope with all my heart that galaxy s sells extremely poorly, that samsung will loose a ton of money because of this and that many people have read about galaxy being stuck at 1.5 and will be afraid of getting a samsung phone because of potential lack of support

Internal memory =/= RAM memory

The 8Gb of internal memory does us no good as the RAM memory ( 192Mb ) is the problem on the galaxy, same as the slow processor is.

Don't know why ur so upset because internal memory has nothing to do with the lack of 2.1 on our phones.

that's pretty much a confirmation that 192 megs of ram is enough to run froyo
and obviously with the new jit compiler, cpu shouldn't be a problem either, it's just up to samsung (*sigh*) to either do froyo or release the necessary sources/drives for drakaz & co. to do it for them

Honestly, this can be done. I mean my old HTC Touch CDMA *is* running 2.1 on a custom .25 kernel built by a fantastic guy in New Zealand (look at the Touch CDMA forum on XDA for the awesomeness of a community that has really breathed new life into a phone long past it's "usable" lifetime), so I see no reason that we can't pull things together and have 2.2 running on this beast in a bit of time. I mean, we'll need more that just Drakaz doing the work here and will need to find a way to get/build kernel modules for some of the proprietary hardware that Samsung is using (probably the touchscreen and camera of the top of my head) unless they have folded it all into the offical .29 kernel they built. But I'm very hopeful for a future for my Galaxy. Mostly cause I know that I'm stuck with it for the next 2.5 years

btw it's funny to see the words "no phones left behind" coming out from the network that sells behold 2

Tmobiles mytouch 3g only switched to the 288mb ram of the 32A in FEB 2010, so unless they ve put a disclaimer they are only updating the version 1.2 of the mytouch 3g, which i havent seen anywhere, then to me it reads as if they are froyo'ing all mytouch 3g's.
